But it was also the age of Machiavelli, or rampant lawlessness, incessant war and unspeakable depravity. At the heart of the world order was the Vatican, and at the center of the Vatican was Rodrigo Borgia, a man whose quest for power would propel him to seek the ultimate prize, the Chair of Saint Peter. His name would become synonymous with ruthlessness, and his reign as pope would be remembered as the most infamous chapter in the history of the Catholic Church. Review: Outstanding for drama, history - Having just finished the first seasons of both "The Borgias" (Showtime) and "Borgia: Faith and Fear" (Canal+, European), I have to say I enjoyed both equally well. The Showtime series is much more condensed (5 episodes) and might be best for the casual viewer. Plus, Jeremy Irons is outstanding as Pope Alexander VI, and puts a lot of character into the part. The Canal+ version is 12 episodes for the first season and fills in a lot of the blanks with subplots and development of key characters, such as Cesare, Juan and Lucretzia Borgia. There's much more family squabbling and back-stabbing (literally) in the European version. John Dolan comes across a bit dry as an actor, but later he really blossoms as a truly caniving pope and a survivor even when French troops are pointing their swords right in his face. Both series cover the same period of time and were filmed almost simultaneously. Both are quite violent and bloody and delve into the ruthless politics of Italy's warring families. I did not feel the two series were anti-Catholic in any way. Rodrigo Borgia was a product of his environment and his ruthlessness and survival skills simply rose above his opponents, even in the most dire of circumstances. I felt Showtime's version was more visually stunning and I liked that they "visited" Italy's other kingdoms - Florence, Milan and Naples. Machiavelli himself is introduced as a character, meeting Cesare Borgia for the first time, a person who he would later write about in "The Prince." The scene showing the king of Naples' dinner table is shocking, to say the least. You get a real lesson in Italian history from these shows. The European version spends more time on the Borgias themselves, each a sociopath in their own right. Casare, the most historically interesting offspring, is a much more conflicted character and his own tit-for-tat battle with a Collona enemy leaves the viewer gasping with horror. Juan is a violent thug and a failed military leader. Lucretzia grows into her role as a sexually charged temptress. The pope is forced to periodically serve as family referee. After one episode of family strife, Alexander VI remarks "The only problem with being a Borgia is that your children are Borgias, too." Viewers of "The Tudors" and "The Sopranos" will enjoy the Borgias. Review: Apples and Oranges - For me, it is impossible to try to compare Borgia and The Borgias. Both are excellent and aside from the subject matter, very different. I first watched The Borgias and absolutely loved it. I stumbled upon this presentation and thanks to some informative reviews, I had to leap - and so glad I did. In some other reviews, much has been made about the "accent issue," most specifically John Doman's American accent. Because his accent is so different from that of the other actors, I did notice it initially, but after half an hour or so, it didn't matter at all. In fact, I thought John Dorman did an excellent job portraying Rodrigo Borgia and looked so much more like him as well. As in The Borgias, great detail was taken in costuming and set detail. And, in some of the retelling of stories based in murky facts, some liberties were also taken. Borgia requires much more viewer participation, I think, because there are more characters to keep up with. One thing that struck me about Borgia is how the film-makers portrayed the people, cast and extras. There were men and women of all sizes and physical descriptions. There was tremendous realism in Borgia, all the way through. After watching The Borgias, it took me a minute to "accept" the actors in Borgia, as I am so fond of the ones in the former. What allowed me to enjoy Borgia equally is that these two series are SO completely different. Each one stands by itself and should be appreciated that way. These characters are so interesting and both gave me a completely different understanding and appreciation for the Borgias and their times. If you are intrigued by the Borgia family, I recommend BOTH versions of their story. Each paints a different view of the same story and makes a highly entertaining experience in the bargain. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Contributor | Art Malik, Assumpta Serna, Diarmuid Noyes, Isolda Dychauk, John Doman, Mark Ryder, Marta Gastini, Shogo Tomiyama, Stanley Weber Contributor Art Malik, Assumpta Serna, Diarmuid Noyes, Isolda Dychauk, John Doman, Mark Ryder, Marta Gastini, Shogo Tomiyama, Stanley Weber See more | | Customer Reviews | 4.2 out of 5 stars 582 Reviews | | Format | AC-3, Box set, Closed-captioned, Color, Dolby, Multiple Formats, NTSC, Subtitled, Widescreen | | Genre | TV | | Language | English | | Number Of Discs | 3 | ## Product Details - **Format:** AC-3, Box set, Closed-captioned, Color, Dolby, Multiple Formats, NTSC, Subtitled, Widescreen - **Genre:** TV - **Language:** English - **Number Of Discs:** 3 ## Images ![Borgia Faith And Fear: Season 1 [DVD] - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/810aBVlUftL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Outstanding for drama, history *by E***S on May 2, 2012* Having just finished the first seasons of both "The Borgias" (Showtime) and "Borgia: Faith and Fear" (Canal+, European), I have to say I enjoyed both equally well.

Everything is beautiful. The scenes the costumes the writing, the acting. I love this Mini Series. This one stars John Doman as the Pope and was made by the same man that makes mini-series for HBO. This is not "The Borgias" starring Jeremy Irons. It is "BORGIA" and it's SO MUCH BETTER than the Jeremy Irons version. This mini series is Wonderful. After seeing this one and then trying to sit thru "The Borgias" with Jeremy Irons I almost died of boredom. This version is definately not for the faint of heart though. There is alot of blood, sex, sex and more sex, and tears. I was so engrossed I watched the entire first season, one episode after the other. I really enjoyed this mini-series. I loved the Tudors but this one is even better than the Tudors. It was filmed in France but filmed in English. I'm glad it's widescreen because the scenery is simply Stunning. After seeing this on Netflix (they have both versions) I tried to find it to buy and found it wasn't coming out until February 2012. Great mini-series. You'll love it. I Just wish it was coming out in Blu Ray. 03/07/2012 - UPDATE !!! WARNING !!!! Just a warning for those who are purchasing this DVD set. I pre-ordered from Amazon LLC and the 3rd disc would not load or play. I returned that set for a replacement and the replacement would not load or play either. I have asked for a refund and ordered a new copy from another seller. I'll let you know if all of the discs in the one from another seller play when they arrive but I don't suggest buying this one from Amazon LLC. I think they got a bad batch. Sorry Amazon LLC, nothing personal I just want a copy that plays. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.tn/products/14117353-borgia-faith-and-fear-season-1-dvd](https://www.desertcart.tn/products/14117353-borgia-faith-and-fear-season-1-dvd) --- *Product available on Desertcart Tunisia* *Store origin: TN* *Last updated: 2026-09-22*
